Your Questions About Yahoo Small Business Web Hosting
James asks…
I have yahoo as my new small business host for my website, I have already paid you folks and my website is nod?
I have been unsuccessful to locate your web site host, very frustrating and no good service. The site was up for a day or two and only on yahoo search engine, now the site is no where to be found. I dont appreciate this at all, maybe yahoo dont care, what can i do or wnat are my chances to cancel yahoo as the host.

Just so you know, questions posted here are answered by other Yahoo users, not Yahoo customer service reps. You have to contact them directly by other channels to get answers for your service issues.

What are the benefits of a small business hosting their own email server?
What are good reasons for a small company to not use free web mail services like google or yahoo mail.
admin answers:
By hosting your own server you have complete control of everything. Companies I worked with chose to do this so they knew what was going on with the server at all times – they didn’t have to worry about a fire, explosion, theft, etc. I’ve worked with a hosting company that had an explosion in their server room – and our server was down for over a week. Usually, something like this is the reason a business will decide to host their own server.
I strongly recommend against doing this if you’re a small business. If you set up your hosted server correctly, you can have back-ups and redundancy plans without having to invest in purchasing the email server, software, IT personnel, etc.

William asks…
which is the best web hosting service for a small business (architecture)?
I’m an Architect and will start working independently so I want to promote my interior design services in a cool website (never have had one). I know there are cheap ones out there compared to the one Yahoo is offering ($7.46/mo for 1st 3 mos, $9.95 month after) but the one in Yahoo takes you step by step in how to create it. Anyway, want a web hosting service that helps me EASILY build my website, what do you recommend?
admin answers:
I guess there are better web hosting than some of the well known brands. You can get better service for less. I’d recommend that you check on http://www.webhostingchoice.com/. What this site does, is let you compare the best offers available and they list the top 10 web hosting companies. It’s so easy to compare between different web hosting services that you save lots of time and energy. They have an excellent search feature which allows you custom search based on your budget or any other choices.
Hope this info helps.

How do you add message boards to a website? I have a small business package through yahoo.?
i would like to be able to have a message board on my website. I have a the “starter” web hosting package with Yahoo! small business services. I used the free sitebuilder software to do the basic design and page flow and must stress that I am NOT AN EXPERT (if that wasnt clear already). Thanks so much…-Ryan

that’s the one I use. Visitors can use an existing id, create a temporary one, or be assigned an anon id automatically. It’s pretty user friendly and free. And it stores a number of older messages for reference.
